*UC Berkeley School of Information launches Master of Information and Data
Science (MIDS) degree*

Dear Alumni and Friends of the I School,

I am thrilled to share the news that the School of Information is launching
a Master of Information and Data Science (MIDS) degree with the first
cohort of students starting in January 2014. This will be the country’s
first fully online Master of Information and Data Science
(MIDS)<http://my.berkeley.edu/site/R?i=jgDIsKHXfN45z35djKXw-Q>program.

The I School faculty developed this new degree in response to the rapidly
growing need for well-trained professionals who can organize, analyze, and
interpret the deluge of often messy and unorganized data now available from
the web, sensor networks, mobile devices, and elsewhere — often referred to
as “big data.”

The MIDS is a rigorous 27-unit graduate degree aimed at the working
professional. It will combine live, face-to-face classes with interactive,
online course work that can be accessed from anywhere. While the coursework
will be entirely online, all students will also participate in a one-week
immersion in Berkeley that allows them to meet one another and the faculty
as well as to interact with leading data science professionals from the San
Francisco Bay Area.

The program will provide hands-on experience with the diverse tools and
methods for exploring and finding patterns in complicated, real-world data,
and for communicating the findings with decision makers. Just like all
other degree programs at the School of Information, I School faculty will
teach in the program alongside experienced professionals.

If you would like to learn more about the Master of Information and Data
Science program, please visit us
